Today marks the 15th anniversary of the airing of the controversial Star Trek: Enterprise series finale “These Are The Voyages.”

Next year marks the 20th anniversary of the premiere of the show, which debuted in September 2001. How do you feel the show was affected coming out so soon after 9/11 and how do you feel the post-9/11 era impacted Enterprise?

Trinneer and Keating virtual panel Saturday, meet and greet next Wednesday

Sounds like South Park or Rick & Morty.

John Billingsley: ‘Star Trek: Enterprise’ Needed More Development, Was “F#*ked” By Network Timidity

Billingsley: And the studio itself also needed to kind of grapple with what they wanted to achieve. I remember there was an early episode where a crew member is transported and they come back. And in the first draft… it was pretty cool because this guy comes back and his head is where his ass is supposed to be and [flails around] ‘what the fuck!’ and we are afraid of the transporter. By the time it emerges and we are shooting it, the guy comes back from the transporter accident and he has got a little twig sticking out of his forehead. And that to me early on crystalized where I think the timidity of the network actually fucked us. To me there was another level of scariness that the show wanted to move towards, and I felt that the powers that be said, “But, but, but.”
